Transform your taste buds with a fiery twist on a classic favourite – kimchi and egg fried rice that packs a punch of flavour and gut-boosting benefits.
Kimchi is a traditional Korean dish made up of fermented, spicy, and tangy vegetables, typically cabbage and radishes. It is increasing in popularity in the UK because of its unique flavour and health benefits. Kimchi benefits gut health by introducing beneficial probiotics through fermentation, which can improve digestion, enhance the balance of gut bacteria, and support overall digestive function.1https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/14/7/1527 Read more about the benefits of fermented foods here.
